Hi,

One thing here is that your input data has not been prepared  
correctly - some of the subjects clearly have incorrect voxel  
dimensions!  It also looks like some subjects (e.g., total19520_FA)  
have some artefacts in them (much brighter slices in some places).

I'm also confused by the registrations in all_FA - they do indeed  
look much too big. When I ran tbss_2_reg with just the -T option on  
your first subject it gave sensible results - did you run a different  
registration option?

Cheers, Steve.
